this is unhinged for many reasons -- but this illustrates why it is important for cis allies to be VERY FKNG LOUD AND VERY FKNG CLEAR of their support of trans people and trans issues
influential mainstream media says what is happening to us is no big deal and will have a minimal negative impact

Of course the NYT sees the "DEI" stuff positively & is neutral on anti-trans discrimination

knowing a trans person and treating them like a human being is not allyship, that's just being a decent person -- that's bare minimum
allyship is an active thing
you need to be vocal with OTHER CIS PEOPLE
but we're not the problem: we're 'cool' with continuing to exist too, thanks
make sure you're talking about how these 'policies' are fckd among your cis friends
say something if you see one of us in trouble (not the cops, they don't like us either)
if you know a trans person who needs help and especially if they have some sort of crowdfund and you have the means to
donate direct to them
or you know, do both
trans lifeline helps a lot -- but isn't gonna pay rent or groceries for folks
